I visited Hefei in 2005. I actually really liked the original parts of the City, the part built around the "Fat River." While some of the new stuff then was ok, all this explosive new stuff seems to be pushing a weird sort of growth, even by Chinese standards. In my opinion.

Hefei is the capital of Anhui Province, which has a claim to fame mainly built around either Hefei's technical university, which is something along the lines of a Chinese Carnegie-Melon, or around the Yellow Mountain, aka Huangshan, a famously beautiful mountain and surrounding geological and natural park area.

What's happening in China today is very much reminiscent of Dubai in 2006/07. Hope they plant it properly and with some thought for the overall impact these towers will have for the future generations.

Well, China has been doing it sense before Dubai(if we include Hong Kong) and will keep going. It's like every city in China is on Dubai levels of construction craze. I guess that's what happens when you have 1.3 billion people haha
